LICENCING AUDITS - ZESPRI
We developed the cultivar licencing audit programme for Zespri® in 1999 and have carried out the audit programme ever since.
By using high-grade survey equipment and the latest drone (UAV) technology we ensure orchard data is captured with the highest degree of accuracy.
For more information visit our Zespri Audit FAQ's page.
CANOPY AREA ESTIMATION MAPS
A canopy estimation map may be useful for:
License application or tenderGrafting a licensed varietyBefore splitting or merging structuresRemoving canopy in a title dispute or re-allocation
If we have surveyed your orchard in the last three years and you have made no changes GPSit can use the imagery from our records to create a canopy area estimation map for you. Contact us for a quote.
However, if you have made changes to the orchard since your last survey or you haven't had your orchard mapped with GPSit previously then we will need to conduct a survey onsite. Please fill out our survey quote form here.
"The team at GPSit have mapped many of our managed orchards. They always try to accommodate us to our ever changing needs and always ensure that they deliver a final product that we are satisfied with."
